Have you been working on your roar for years now? Are you prone to getting wildly out of wing despite the squawks of your detractors? If so, there’s a strong likelihood that you share quite a few traits with the King of Pride Rock. Remember who you are with these signs that you might actually be Simba from The Lion King:
1. You’ve come a long way since your early days.
Some might describe your younger self as a precocious youngster with a more than ample amount of confidence. Maybe you’ve even laughed in the face of danger. After some soul-searching, however, you’ve finally realized what all your elders were trying to teach you back in the day.
2. You’re open to trying new things.
Sure, you might be understandably skeptical at first, but you’re always satisfied after giving something unfamiliar a try.
3. You can make friends with all different types of people (and species).
How many other lions have you seen make friends with animals below them on the food chain? Well, we suppose that Scar had his alliance with the hyenas, but that didn’t end so well for him. That’s what happens when you build relationships on power rather than friendship, a mistake lions like Simba (and people like you) wouldn’t make.
4. You’ve always looked up to your dad.
You’ve never understood those people who complain about dealing with their parents. You value family time more than pretty much anything.
5. You might have had a bit of an existential crisis.
Sure, “hakuna matata” seems all well and good at first, but sometimes it’s good to worry about certain things. Like your destiny.
6. You have that absurd yet insightful friend who always steers you in the right direction.
You’re surrounded by opinionated individuals, but there’s that one person who always has the best advice—even if it doesn’t always seem that way at first.
7. You’ve been influenced by a lot of powerful women in your life.
There’s no doubt that Simba was surrounded by a herd of lionesses who were strong and resilient, and anyone out there who has that same kind of support knows they’re all the better for it.
8. You know how to kick back and relax when you need to.
You may have some mighty goals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t kick up your paws and enjoy the sweet things in life every now and then. You even make it look easy.
9. You always find your way back to where you belong.
Things can definitely get a little rough out there, but no matter what challenges you face, you know that you’ll always come back to the place that makes you feel pride (rock).
